The
piece I wrote on the tragedy of Detroit, Michigan, originally published
at NewsWithViews.com,
on October 5, 2009. It has circulated around the Internet and over
to Europe and Australia for the past two years.

At
the time, Detroit had dropped from 1.85 million residents to a paltry
912,000 people. In the Denver Post last week, the U.S. Census report
showed that Detroit declined further to 712,000 people. Unfortunately,
an incredible percentage of them live on welfare. The city has been
overrun with legal and illegal immigrants and features 90 percent
minorities.

Readers
send me letters asking me how we can turn it around. How do we change
Detroit and many other cities inside the USA from suffering the same
fate?

As
I have said for 10 years at NWV and in my book America on the Brink:
The Next Added 100 Million Americans, we must engage a 10 moratorium
on all immigration into this country. After the moratorium, 100,000
maximum immigrants annually that are educated, speak English and contribute
to our civilization! If not, we will continue importing poverty, illiteracy
and cultures of poverty into this country until it becomes as degraded
as any third world country. With Detroit’s 76 percent high school
dropout rate, it’s already happening! We cannot keep adding
3.1 million immigrants annually from Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Mexico
and other third world countries and “think” we can educate
them and assimilate them into America. It’s impossible. Additionally,
it will add 72 million of immigrants within 24 years, which shows
you the enormity of our stupidity. The proof of Detroit remains the
benchmark for failure and decline.

Yet,
not enough Americans have spoken up. The majority keeps doing nothing.
You would think that www.NumberUSA.org would enjoy 10 to 20 million
American members trying to save this country. Instead, only 1.1 million!

“Immigration
by the numbers—off the chart” by Roy Beck. This 10
minute demonstration shows Americans the results of unending mass
immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future generations:
in a word “Mind boggling!”

If
we keep heading down this road, our kids are toast!

“Frosty
I just received your piece about Detroit and the rack and ruin the
city is in, along with your observations as what has contributed to
the city's demise,” said a reader named John. “My question
is how do we turn the United States around? Because as you noted Detroit
is just a microcosm of what is happening all over this country on
a macro scale. As you know by now, I live in one of the liberal capitals
of the world, where politicians, prodded by well meaning people wanting
to give a hand to people who are born to take advantage of a broken
system, have driven this state in to the same mortal abyss as Detroit.

“From
hundreds of thousands of illegals [actually, millions use it at $346
billion annually] are using the system. Benefits to public employees
outpace the private sector. Where do we start? I'm as fed up and confused
as the next person. I am afraid that if we don't get a handle on this
situation and draw a line in the sand now; there will be total anarchy.
We are both the same age and remember when education was something
to aspire to. Several months ago I received an email that showed pictures
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki compared to Detroit today. The question
is "Who won the war?" We are embroiled in a battle to the
death for our Republic and it may already be too late. Gaddafi stated
several years ago that Islam will take over America without firing
one shot.”

David
from California said, “It has been popular for many years to
move one negative statistic over from one column and erase another,
in a problem column. In math we learn that two negatives make a positive
but in real life we are cautioned that two wrongs don't make a right.

“We
see on one hand that we may have 10 million illegal non-citizens miraculously
gainfully employed as well as drawing benefits. So deportation would
quickly fill the void with the 10 million unemployed American citizens.
Or, at least, a significant proportion... if those unemployed Americans
don't belong to the Bush gang, who are unwilling to mow lawns and
butcher beef for $6 per hr.

“California,
in particular, has come to the crunch of having too many prisoners
for the available housing, without the current budget to provide more
housing. Two solutions have been suggested. The easiest, of course,
is to release some prisoners, early. Like early retirement to balance
the budget in the teaching profession.

“The
other, more politically loaded, is to incarcerate the Mexican citizens
in their homeland at a reduced, affordable rate. The man credited
with developing the renowned London Metropolitan Police, Sir Robert
Peel offered some great wisdom. At a time of severe punishments, in
spite of the trying economic times, when a starving person had no
choice other than to steal food, facing prison or deportation, the
severity did not come into play. The significant factor was the likelihood
of being caught.

“Nowadays,
largely due to the development of the attorney, we may add a grey
area... the likelihood of being sentenced. Being sentenced, of course,
tends to be a far greater probability for a Black youth than a veteran
on Wall Street. Of all people, only Martha Stewart appears to have
fallen afoul of the financial and legal systems.

“Also
on the credit side of the equation, at least in some states, like
Georgia and Texas; there remains the noble intent to obtain a hard
day's labor from the inmates, teaching them and training them to become
good citizens. There must be some economic return for producing license
plates and collecting trash on the Interstates?”

Finally,
Martha said, “Seldom have I read an article that says so well
what so few wish to state. The corruption within our government is
horrendous and they don't even try to cover it up any more. Our population
has developed a 'ho-hum' attitude about it as they go back to their
favorite TV program, totally oblivious to their futures being stolen
right from under their feet. I have forwarded your article "Corrupt
Congress Wasting Taxpayer Trillions," and hope it will drag a
few heads out of the sand. Thank you.”

These
same letters by the thousands have hit my computer daily for the past
10 years, but not enough Americans have taken action. In the next
ten years, at current rates of immigration, we will see another 30
million immigrants added. At some point, our educational, medical
and welfare systems will collapse either financially or sociologically.
Historians will call it the “Tragedy of America.”
